The short version

Mark Lauinger is listed as an executive officer on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jun 2016 and Jul 2019: Plains Venture Partners I, L.P. (Oklahoma City, OK — investing — 2019), Oklahoma Angel Fund II, LP (Oklahoma City, OK — investing — 2018) and Oklahoma Angel Fund I, LP (Oklahoma City, OK — investing — 2016).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $0 sold in total.

Listed alongside Cindy Williams (4 shared filings), Rex Smitherman (4 shared filings), Scott A. Meacham (4 shared filings), Melissa Kempkes (3 shared filings), Ryan Cargill (3 shared filings) and 4 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Mark. Each name links to their own page.

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Oklahoma Angel (7 issuers, $166.2M reported sold, 2011–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Oklahoma Angel has 7 companies on file and $166.2M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 4 public filings for Mark Lauinger and found 7 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Mark Lauinger appears on 3 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Plains Venture Partners I, L.P; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 3 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
